:round_pushpin: Airport Name and ICAO/IATA Code
Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (ICAO: CYUL / IATA: YUL)

:globe_showing_europe_africa: Location (City, Country)
Dorval, Quebec, Canada

:chart_increasing: Airport Type & Size
YUL is a major Canadian international airport serving as Québec’s primary aviation hub. It has two main runways:

  • Runway 06L/24R: 3,353 m
  • Runway 06R/24L: 3,014 m

The airport is dedicated to passenger traffic only — cargo operations are handled separately at Mirabel Airport (YMX), though combining both under YUL in-game could offer added value.

:vertical_traffic_light: Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
YUL would be an excellent Canadian representation in WoA — a balanced alternative to busier hubs like Toronto or Vancouver.
It provides:

  • Access to local/regional airlines and Canadian aviation culture
  • A mix of domestic, US, transatlantic, and niche routes
  • Unique northern village connections in Québec
  • Opportunities to add Mirabel’s cargo capacity, if desired for gameplay

Montreal also offers a great medium-to-large hub size without overwhelming complexity.
